science technology innovation all the least i'm elements from around russia we've got the future covered. the white sea.
12:32 am
so cold canaries of the sea communicate. typically they hide under the ice. the white sea is then the time. i. become far from the civilized world in the north of russia on the coast of the white sea sea canaries are communicating with people with great pleasure in the open waters. could not take you on they are behaving strangely today. show you why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song or something wrong with your first city wouldn't boss guy do some gardening before you start singing business. of water your best. is sure was more.

than was a mortal let's give our throat some fish oil. thank you now let's try to get off the. sailors have dubbed baluga whales canaries because of their peculiar sounds they make. my three want to bring us to ring was a. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives. palooka cards are of a dark blue color thank when they're one year old they turn gray like these two female whales. later their skin acquires

a milky shade. you know yes this is exactly how they should be kept but the people in society should know that the bloke a whale is not a stupid fish as many believe that the king. will need to tell them that these intelligent creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection like what mikey. this dolphinarium emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible he's nice reasoning. in the come the luck show bay of the white sea spent. branch of the trish tolson area in cooperation with the optic circle dive center set up an open enclosure for the legal whales. the nearest settlement is the village of mill mill good but located on the coast of the white sea. it was
12:35 am
a stoppage by local fisherman known as coast well as in the twentieth century. this place is very remote and difficult to reach only dirt roads in the cold sea found that. such things do not pull the divers visitors flock to from different countries only around they dream of getting a close look appealing to whales and swimming with them in the natural habitats. yet before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to attend a special high style been called i heard about. being with this same company that organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this dive with i thought for got to do it newbie to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit fishing for the top of photography definitely does speak to people in south africa but the watch either i don't know where it is at all it's
12:36 am
a whole experience for me and. i've been diving for the past eight nine years most train topical water. south east asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's warm water computor here. in order to get to the depths of the want to see winter divers first have to break through the frozen so. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving school so. it is hard work so the diver. take terms that short intervals. for this device was invented by ancient people it's a type of leadership that was taken it a step further and designed intelligent devices no deals to little chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job
12:37 am
of for really man. i starting in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hotspots bonuses are situated near every waterhole pier the divers change and comfort themselves after diving. according to international diving regulations one should be certified by the professional association of diving instructors before venturing under the ice because the divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insulated
12:38 am
by small film of the air going to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have priced it which is ordered once it has seals here feels it the next in theory it's not supposed to allow him to leave you have an inflated post here and here say to keep it comfortable and you don't get squashed in the water with the pressure you put air into the suit keeps the nice and comfy and then if you're coming up on the sea you have to get rid of things ventured out through here. a lot of preparation is needed before diving under the ice. it takes time to put on a dry suit. as well as making ferret checks on the equipment before finally getting used to the cold water. divers always had under the ice tethered to a safety line which is controlled by a team member above take care over your head you're ok you're ok the first dive is
12:39 am
always made by an experienced instructor like to task is to learn to navigate under the ice to exchange signals with your partner correctly and to control the equipment. by studying is fraught with danger the visibility beneath is only twenty to twenty five meters if the breathing apparatus fails the diver will not be able to surface immediately because of the ice above. the diver has to be aware of where the exit is. even in winter time life goes on under the white sea ice. on the seabed near the bolshoi christofi island there are underwater gardens of kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for this seaweed.
12:40 am
fish move slowly through the cold war to the sea bass are used to the divers and often let them come up very close. they look so menacing and they're not even afraid of bright light. the thread like tentacles of the sea anemones give the seabed a fluffy comet. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other organic particles the given to take green hue to the water of the white. see.
12:41 am
the. fifth. her being here for sure had a more tab. it was through ari do you want to come or. we only need ice cream that's going to be have a. little bit at that. thing where they're. going. to point a few people the underwater world is not the only attraction of the white sea in smooth ice is an excellent environment to kite sledging founds. only one affair of often visits this remote place in the past he would only dive under the ice with
12:42 am
scuba gear now he prefers to ride over the top with a special sledge and a parachute good memories of almost what i like about a kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes three metre parachute is good for strong winds three to six to seven metre parachute is the right size for mild or winds this one is nine and a half meters there counts for any weather conditions or should all of them will kill you florida if you want a diversion. by my to be a good one you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should yeah it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed to go i am carried away by
12:43 am
a feeling of exhilaration you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power of nature's forces just do it well they could pulverize my yacht sledge and kite in no time and make mincemeat out of me but yesterday. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle the leg is finally able to catch the wind. wealthy british style. that's not right.
12:44 am

all. right and number one the. i palooka trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of new monkey bugs and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. but well so are you ready. palooka whales of plays an important role in their lives this is where they first met and then got married. let's go below go.
12:46 am
to the belugas numa in montreal now were brought to the white sea dolphinarium when they were about one year old i alexandra natalia became their foster parents they tended fed and trained them. keeping in touch with palookas is not only that job but it is also a hobby and a way of relaxation. i think. it was. i. training belugas means playing with them any hostility against them is totally ruled out. whales and dolphins have an acute sense of how humans are disposed towards them they respond to friendly treatment. therefore
12:47 am
a very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them and to sing in your show what's most important is that this is not a circus or showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balls in there to use when we have been pretty clear people simply communicate with the living creatures you will see just the old. blue. get attached to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the end of which you know when you look like you're sometimes their skin ages you and i have certainly experienced that thoughts but they have no hands to scratch the spot so they like being scratched by the bite you are throwing your turn over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots but. we also matters there
12:48 am
stout bodies. they open their mouth but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tongues. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges. if. this is an offshore enclosure belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always flock to go where winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. then they can resurface to brief. large patches of open water close to the village of new mcgrew never freeze over thanks. to geological evidence the white sea appeared some twenty thousand years ago. the people who first settled in this northern land five hundred years ago called coast to well as. fishing and hunting with their means of subsistence. many of them

drowned during hurricanes and storms. local still put up lamarck's of the most dangerous sites they serve as a warning to others. along the shore of the white sea their villages founded hundreds of years ago by coastal is. the oldest one is jordan i already which means black river. it is first mentioned in historical scripts in fifteen eleven. the church stands above the village it was named after some trifle the protector of hunters and fishermen. according to local tradition this church had to look like a ship. has sailed north flung the white sea coast and reached the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. by the
12:50 am
women when fishing in the sea on rowing boats they caught fish many kilometers away from their homes and they went by these robots not by ships you can still see women on such boats spin with their own a particular way saddle oarsmen usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this. why do they do. so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time other than a moment. in winter time far from. their own wits several shots out at sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rocky shores of bio filter back. to white seas under the influence of the tide its water level of the shore rises up and down twice a day. in the bay even in winter you can see a change of ice level of the coastline. there are daily tides in the whites
12:51 am
only about what they're triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth through of the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two majors both in summer and in winter all of the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level at that when you want to produce names that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the belt of ice frozen to the rock. in bio filter back a diver's learn how to work in pairs on their own so that they will be able to dive under the ice without an instructor. some divers stand above the ice hole and control those who are underwater then they swap places. after the first two dips divers understand clearly that their lives depend
12:52 am
on those above the ice. when everything is working fine it's fine for diving funny the moment something goes wrong you have what they called narrowing of vision and you use the ability to to think like which increases your breathing and this and creates a panic so it's like a circle you just create normal panic very difficult to get out of it so. besides the obvious part of getting you back to the hole this is like an umbilical cord that keeps you calm. in the depths of the ice world the sense of danger is very relative. near the rocks piles of ice formed. ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the ebb and flow. huge chunks of ice create corridors and labyrinths stretching over many meters. this is the underwater
12:53 am
world bio filter bank. it is so cold because plankton lurking on the rocks in ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers called this place the ice kingdom. bus so you can fly to another. yes nobody can certainly not now ask the americans a visit at the moon and probes of landed on mars and venus but actually another planet is right here on earth with a parallel world with a parallel dimension everything is different here i think people know much more about how to space than they do about what's under the seat of bush's vision for the world. there are hundreds of maritime biological research stations in the world today one of the most remote ones is in the come the laps of gulf of the white sea
12:54 am
. and old wind powered generator is the symbol of the bottle tickle research station belonging to moscow state university. only a handful of staff stays at the station in winter young students from moscow state university's biological faculty after pairing their theses presentations. biologist yelena cross nova has served at the station for twenty five years she often comes here with family in winter. she studies see ida ducks ensuring they stay here. by just been nearly all of their life time on water and in the end. it is only during the brief reproduction period that they make nests on the shore. they always stick together on land as they do on the sea. young female dogs who are their own nestlings help the on the females to race the
12:55 am
baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flesh things together with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is a convenient thing to do. on. the water in the white sea remains cold even in summer time but the idea ducks are never affected by the cold water they bowled in the waves the whole day. undercoat is the best biological heat and see later it doesn't lead to one thought in the old days where there were new modern synthetic materials around the fluff was used to make clothes for polar explorers and sleeping bags and it's indeed an excellent insulator. like seabirds beluga whales simply don't feel the cold the temperature of their bodies always stays at ninety eight point six degrees fahrenheit thirty seven
12:56 am
degrees celsius. the thick layer of hypodermic fat keeps the heat in well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels palookas to save energy. very easy movements never exhibit aggression. after a brief course of ice diving almost all the divers go swimming with belugas and in no plane closure. for many it is a dream come true because nowhere else in the world can you communicate with beluga whales in their natural habitat. and. our task is to provide a good dive so that the whale school so we are in the deep waters for a while to communicate with people and then come back to the surface said we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correct am the is the syllable in the pride
12:57 am
and. the whales oh its careful divers cannot move as fast and graciously as they count so they adjust themselves to the divers movements. people always talk to the whales in their own language but beluga whales can barely hear human speech they perceive high frequency sounds. the huge forehead serves as an acoustic tool thanks to that palookas have perfect echo location. in communicating with human beings they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers always trump feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their
